My husband and I used to live right around the block and this place has lived a few different lives (412... now late addition...). We came when we were visiting town to try this place in its updated format and we really enjoyed it! The beer was solid and the staff were just as friendly as ever. I highly recommend sitting in the back if the weather is nice. read more

Late Addition Brewing + Blending - Mango beer - Brewpubs Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Great spot on the Northside and very underrated IMO. The beer is great, they do classic styles super well in particular. This time they had a lot of non-alcoholic options too which was great since I was driving. There is usually lots of paid street parking right out front. This was a good spot to watch the game and they updated the taproom with some more seating which I think opened up the space more. They have a great little outdoor area in the back for when it's nice out. read more

I've been to hundreds of breweries and I rarely go to one that I dislike, but this place happens to be one of them. I thought going in what a cute place in a great area and since I never got the chance to try 412 I was excited to try this place, but that soon changed as soon as we walked in. I understand it's a dog friendly place and I love animals hence why I am a vegan 75% of the time (we had just left VegFest before coming here) and vegetarian 22% with the other 2% for some sushi and rare foods I've never tried. So when I walk into a business and someone has a dog like on this day I expect it to be on a close leash and not running up on me with a long leash causing me to almost trip and and fall and licking my girlfriend legs repeatedly while she is ordering drinks. I mean come on! Then to see it pee on the floor was a one and done deal for us. There was literally three people here on the day we went yet the bartender took a good 5 minutes to acknowledge new patrons and another 15 to pour a beer and make a cocktail. Why? Too busy chatting with the girl with the dog, that's why. I've been to almost every brewery in the city and its outskirts and this is the rare one that didn't live up to any expectations I had of it going in. The beer was pretty good and the cocktail my girlfriend had was too, but that really doesn't matter to be honest if the service and environment isn't copacetic. Service is the key to a great business and this places lacks it and as for being an animal friendly place that's a great thing to allow them to come in but I'd make sure people don't let them run all over the place and pee on the floor especially when food is being served. Good luck though regardless of the obvious facts stated. read more

Quaint brewery with friendly folks! This is the type of place that looks like a cobbler's shop on a cobblestone street. It's nestled into a very residential area. The beertender was friendly and informative, the setting was warm and inviting. It felt like a library..with drinking...and talking. For me, the standout beer was their sour. It was very, VERY sour (just like I like 'em) and quite complex. I did sample many other beers though, and they were all solid! I only wish they had some lagers on tap which, they apparently often do. Aforementioned beertender told me they'd have some in a few weeks. Great timing since I'll be back in PGH then! read more

I have no followers here but if I did you would know on Sundays we are trying a brewery we haven't been to, which we cleverly dubbed "new brewery Sunday." If you were following along you would have seen we went to Four Points brewing, not realizing how close this "Late Addition" brewing is- literally on the same block. When we pulled up we had to do a facepalm at ourselves for not noticing it before. Anyway! This is a dog friendly spot with dogs both indoors and outdoors. The space is small but comfortable. Inside there's bar seating and a few booths. Outside has a gravel lot and a couple of picnic tables. Street parking was ample and free on Sundays - so no parallel parking needed! Reason for the lower rating was due to the beer selection. Most of the beers on tap were barleywines of some type, which didn't offer much variety. I wasn't looking for something so boozy and had limited options otherwise. read more

Check out their Tuesday night trivia for a fun night! I was lucky enough to form a team with a very nice woman at the bar and while we came in near the bottom, it made for a fun night. Leigh created fun trivia questions and had a great song list between questions. The bartender was very nice and helpful. I really liked the Well Met English Pale Ale draft. It was really drinkable and I would have quaffed several more if I didn't have to get up early the next day. They don't have food but you can get some killer Thai food from nearby Nicky's Thai to enjoy with some refreshing beers. read more

I hosted a young professional event here and had a great time! The space is smartly decorated and configured. I loved the lighting fixture over the bar. Both beers I tried were delicious. The Mango Lassi Sour was one of the best beers I've ever had. We were able to bring in pizza from a nearby shop and everything worked out perfectly. Our bartender was very chill and nice. My group had a lovely time! read more

Another great brewery on Pittsburgh's North Side. There were ten beers on draft. Lots of variety with a few more Belgians mixed into the rotation than usual. Handful of German options too. Bartender was quick and knowledgeable. They have a few board games for entertainment. Brewery is very dog friendly. They hand out treats and I could tell the dogs recognized this place as all of them ran up to the front door and started scratching at it. read more

Tiny little place but good beer and friendly. They do half pours which is very nice. Makes it easier to sample a few different brews. Recommend! read more

The second iteration of the brewery that was formerly 412 is now Late Addition, and the team is doing a fantastic job. They are a group of experienced homebrewers turned professional and brewing up a large variety of styles and tastes. The taproom has been updated a bit as well to feel more cozy and welcoming. As a local neighbor I'm loving the new vibe and every drink I've tried so far. Most recently I had the German pils which was delicious and light. The mug it was served in completed the experience. I look forward to more people discovering what's new here and seeing the growth. They have a good thing going. read more

Such a great, new ("late") addition to the North Side!!! Im not a beer drinker but they made the space so welcoming and cozy (for humans and dogs alike). Everyone is super friendly and adds to the great vibes here. They have Stateside Vodka Seltzers and and a mixed cocktail for those who don't drink beer, not a ton of options but I appreciate the fact they had some. I also appreciate they're one of the few breweries in Pittsburgh that are open until 10pm (except Sunday), 7 days a week. No food here, but they'll often have food trucks on certain days (check their site). You can also grab something from Albertas, or Nicky's Thai kitchen across the street. Definitely recommend! read more

What a delight. Chill vibes n temp on a hot ass day in Pitt. Cute, friendly dogs and humans. Excellent hazy ipa. Great bartender!

A new brewery has recently taken over the location previously occupied by 412 Brewery on the north side. This new establishment, Late Addition, opened in 2024 and has brought a fresh perspective to brewing while continuing the tradition of crafting beer in McKees Rocks. They offer a variety of unique beers, including the Kolsch Style Ale, "Elements of Eloquence," at 5.3% ABV, which was rarely available at 412 Brewery. I also enjoyed their "Consider Yourself a Summer Ale" at 5.1% ABV. The conversation with the bartender was great, and the beer was outstanding. I highly recommend stopping by. Cheers! read more

This is an adorable little spot with a sleek decorative theme. I love the variety of brews they offer here, along with the fun names they give each brew! I tried the Black Cherry Stateside Vodka Seltzer & genuinely immediately fell in love. It's certainly my favorite drink i've ever had, but I do still wish my gluten intolerance didn't restrict me to seltzers :( I miss even good old Miller Lite and would love to hear what others think of the brews offered at Late Addition. The bartender Eric is a great person to chat with and they do a wonderful job maintaining cleanliness within beverage glasses, along with up-keeping beer presentation standards. Glasses are rinsed before use and the outside of the glass is also rinsed after the beer is poured, ensuring the beverage is only on the inside of the glass... the way it should be ;) I really appreciate the attention to detail here and would recommend anyone to stop in when near Western Avenue! read more

My guy loves micro breweries and I always leave a place disappointed, but not this place I tried 6 beers/ciders and loved them all! Amazing options w an old world beer taste. Highly recommend! read more

Great beers in a cool spot on the North Side! I also love that they are open 7 days a week as not enough local breweries are open Monday/Tuesday. read more
